Danny Murphy Urges Ten Hag To Hand Man United Captaincy To A New Signing

Danny Murphy weighed in on the debate regarding the captaincy role at man United while speaking on the TalkSPORT podcast.

“I don’t think that this should be set in stone, but on this particular occasion this a very important decision for Manchester United moving forward and not one that should be taken lightly.

“I certainly don’t think it’s one that should be left to the players.

“What you could do is leave it as it is to give yourself the time to make the right decision.

“My feeling is that sometimes the best thing to do for a new manager is to give the captaincy to a player he knows and trusts who he brings in.”

When asked if Van de Beek could be given the armband, he said: “Someone who he brings in from the outside. He’s already there and he’s not played enough so that would be a bit farcical, but if you bring in a leader and go boom, you’re the captain as well then you’re kind of together then.”
